Just be thankful we don't have Sheldon Adelson as Ambassador to Israel. The US sure dodged the bullet on this one.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be952f69bedd4003000002W.R.PrintzTue, 04 Dec 2012 19:28:31 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be952f69bedd4003000002
To the victors go the spoils....it's always been this way in American Politics, and it won't be changing anytime soon.
Shirley Temple was our Ambassador to Ghana, and Czechoslovakia. Nuff said.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be66d2eab8ea8c7e000006goosh69Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:10:42 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be66d2eab8ea8c7e000006
Giving ambassadorships to big donors has been the practice of EVERY President for the past 100+ years. Without exception. Without exception. Without exception. I repeat it three times because I find it surprising that people are surprised by this long-time practice. Reagan, Carter, Kennedy, Nixon, Clinton, both Bushes, Johnson, Ike, Truman, both Roosevelts, Hoover, Coolidge...you cannot name any President since perhaps Jefferson who has not done this. A lot.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be58136bb3f7ae47000001Anton OlffTue, 04 Dec 2012 15:07:47 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50be58136bb3f7ae47000001

fundraising. ambassador-ing... same thing, right?
WTF...
"graciousness, charisma, personality — are the exact kind of skills needed to serve as Ambassador to a friendly nation. "
no skills, but super super rich? don't worry, take some gov't money...we got plenty to spare
